My experience says the exact opposite - its always the fresh out of school newbies that say S-Q-L, while we older dogs say "sequel".

I usually pronounce it Sequel, especially when referencing applications (Microsoft Sequel Server). However, when referencing the language itself, I often use the S-Q-L pronunciation.
In all of the professional groups that I have worked with, Sequel seems to be the accepted pronunciation.
Same here except when I talk about MySQL I say my-sequel, whereas with MSSQL I say the letters m-s-s-q-l, and with PostgreSQL it's kind of a hybrid of the two - postgres-q-l.Originally posted by: daniel1113
